Good morning
It's time for a new challenge at City Crafter and this week Stella is our lovely hostess
The theme she has chosen is
You Matter
Stella is asking that we create a card or project to let someone know that they matter
DH and I took Stella's son out to dinner last Friday ... He's doing his Masters Degree here at Liverpool University - My, what a lovely young man he is ... such a credit to his parents and what a great evening we had
I had some fun playing with watercolour using Gelatos for this challenge ...
I watered down the red and gold Gelatos onto an acrylic stamping block and smooched them onto a scrap of watercolour paper and added a few splats ... These are quickly becoming my trade mark I think lol!
There's a scrap of pink sequined organza just behind the watercolour paper and you can also see a strip of stars that are on acetate which I rescued from an old shop bought card
Our Guest Designer this week is Maria f. Winner of challenge week 244 ... Click the link on her name and go visit her blog ... Maria has a wonderful style and you'll love seeing her creations
As always this week's winner will also be offered a GD spot with us so come and share your creations for those people who matter to you.

Your card is so creative and beautiful, Ros! I love every inch of it!:-)
That background is so pretty. I keep looking at gelatos and wondering - your card makes me think I really do need some :)
Well, you are a master with those backgrounds!! I love when a card can be put together with bits of this and that and then end up looking like it all was meant to be together in the first place!! Beautiful card!!
Gorgeous Ros! I love that piece of organza, what a soft subtle accent piece! Love your bling too! hugs :)
Your background is so pretty! I've never tried gelatos but may have to give them a try. Love your wonderful bling too. Thanks for joining us this week at Just Us Girls!
So pretty Ros! Love the watercolored background and gold sentiment!
WOW Ros! Your card is so artistic and extremely tastefully done! LOVE IT!
SO pretty Ros!! I love the bling on the heart, a wonderful touch!!
Your card looks so artistic Ros! Just love that background of yours, so pretty! Loved to hear of your chair story, too, btw ;-) Yes, sometimes we girls can be quite impulsive, can't we? Glad to hear your dinner with Stella's son was so nice. Enjoy your evening!

Oh Ros, your post filled my heart with happiness. Marcel and I are so thankful that you and your DH are there for Martijn. Your compliment made me blush (almost tear-y...) And I will thank you once we are there with Martijn and you. So exciting!
Your card is a gem! ( I recognise the birdie:) Using gelatos is amazing. I love the background; subtle and so gorgeous. Your remark about splatters made me laugh; I have the same with sequins :) I love that word die just as much as you do. A stunning card!
Speak to you soon. Sending love from us. I am way behind with comments; Iwill catch up.

This is beautiful! I love that watercolored background with the splatters and torn edge. The shiny gold "love", little bird and sparkly stars finish this off perfectly. Thanks for playing with us at JUGS!
Oh my goodness, Ros--an artistic masterpiece! I adore this soft, feminine card! You've inspired me to try & make use of my Gelatos!
Such a beautiful wash you made with the gelatos! I love that you upcycled the glittery stars!
So sweet Ros... Loving the watercolour background job! Awesome... Hugs...x
